Client K came to Canada aiming to work in a desired profession and obtain permanent residence, and asked Shiraishi VisaJP Canada, which the client had long known through our visa information, to handle the application. While the client struggled to improve their English, we proposed a different application method, and the client obtained permanent residence through BCPNP ELSS in about 20 months.
Shiraishi VisaJP Canada told me, “There is a category you can apply for even as you are now.”

Client Comments
Why did you decide to immigrate to Canada?
As for my motivation for applying for permanent residence, the profession I had always wanted to work in is thriving in North America, and I chose Canada because I felt that, compared with the United States and other countries, the chances of obtaining a work permit or permanent residence were higher. When looking for a job as a foreigner, work permit issues are unavoidable. I thought that having permanent residence would be an advantage because employers would no longer need to support my work permit, so in the end I decided to aim for permanent residence.
What made you choose Shiraishi VisaJP Canada?
I had always researched visas on my own, and I had known of Shiraishi VisaJP Canada since I first came to Canada because they share visa information in many places. The staff member at my first free consultation listened to me sincerely, and Ms. Shiraishi, the immigration consultant who then took charge of my case, was kind, explained things clearly and seemed trustworthy, so I decided to ask them.
What was the most memorable part of the process?
The hardest and most time-consuming part of the process of obtaining permanent residence was studying English. With the application method I had originally planned, my English score was not high enough, so I studied every day, but my score did not improve quickly and I struggled.
In the end, Ms. Shiraishi told me about a different application method, and I found out that my English score was sufficient for it. I remember feeling hugely relieved (laughs).
How was your experience using Shiraishi VisaJP Canada’s services?
What I am glad about with the application service is, first of all, that if I had been aiming for permanent residence on my own, I would not have realized that I qualified for the method I actually applied under. They thoroughly checked my past background and current situation and suggested every possible route to permanent residence from a professional point of view, which I truly appreciated.
In fact, I had also consulted another visa consulting company, and the person there indirectly told me, “In your case, this method is impossible.” But I was actually able to obtain it like this, and I am really glad that I did not give up because of one consultant’s opinion and consulted Ms. Shiraishi instead.
Also, the process took longer because of COVID-19, but the sense of security in knowing that Shiraishi VisaJP Canada would handle anything that came up was huge.
Future outlook and a message for those planning to travel to Canada
Now that I have permanent residence, my next goal is to work in the profession I have long wanted! I am happy that I can look for work without visa restrictions.
When I listen to people who have obtained permanent residence, everyone has overcome some kind of difficult path. Everyone goes through hard times, so please think “that’s just how it is” and keep going without giving up.
Even if you think it might be impossible for you, I recommend consulting Shiraishi VisaJP Canada once. There may be possibilities you haven’t noticed.
I hope everyone obtains permanent residence safely.
